What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ya I used that stuff on my black Evo X when I had it, didn't really impress the hell out of me for the work I did.

 

I still have mine on but I'm already regretting adding them as an option. In hindsight I should've put that money towards a good set of weld on sliders.

Probably gonna be looking to take em off in the future if I find someone around here to buy or trade.

 

final touches done .
center glove box divider , bed mat , emergency tool box and tools , 2" ball hitch , multi size lug wrench (4 sizes) for trailers , rear hitch tow ring , 2" tow straps , gloves , rags , tow mirrors ( behind seat) , windup flash light , rope , twine, Toyota webbed bungy divider for box , knife , tape measure , pencil and paper , sheet and blanket to cover the rear seat for the dogs , towel for the cap window and rear truck window for hauling molding thru the windows etc. and tissues for the wife . Extra $20 bill and change for when I forget my wallet . I think I am set for the long haul as long as i remember whats all in there .

 

Lol to the reservoir comments. I would get my coilovers and bypasses warm to the touch from driving on rough, choppy washboard roads for miles. Not at Baja-very high speeds either. I'd rather have the extra cooling to the shocks vs having shock fade (dangerous!) or even melting internal shock parts (wear bands, o-rings, etc). The cooling makes a big difference.

 

Bought this one after some research. Good reviews and better priced compared to other "higher end" cans.

Oh absolutely, a cool shock makes for a happy shock, and shock fade is not a good symptom at all. However, the way I see it: It takes a TON of abuse to really work good shocks now a days to the point of shock fade, and unless one drives on washboard roads on a daily bases, IMHO, the price for a reservoir set up might not be the best solution.

 

Looks rad at the mall tho.

 

...^^^... Great choice. I almost replaced my dash cam with a **GoPro Sessions yesterday.

One Target store had them for $150.00 (maybe it was a pricing mistake) and I need to go back tonight and see if any are left.
**64GB chip models too.

 

When they were trying to come up with a (W)water (D)displacement for the military is was the 40th try before they came up with this. That is why it's call d WD40

 

Ok where did you get this, I like it

 

I use the quick detail spray from Mequires on my red Harley, does this work better,I also have a black taco.

 

I have never tried the detail spray so I cannot say for sure. I know bird bombs rinse off my paint with ease after I used the Megs Ultimate Quick Wax.

 

Wash and wax!

 

Not really, you'd be surprised. Just the movement of the piston back and forth in the body creates friction. Friction creates heat. Heat causes shock oil to cavitate. Now I fully understand what was said about Baja racing etc but even on a long back road trip with OHV/offroad trails, your shocks are going to heat up. I think the slightly higher price is worth the added peace of mind. Plus, it looks rad at the mall.

 

Agree with this 100%. A cooler shock is also going to last a lot longer as well.

 

...

 

Thats exactly why you're not supposed to get it detailed like that! Now you won't want to take it off the pavement.

 

Black is beautiful!

 

Tire size?

 

Looks great.
